Superfly in camo or standard?

I am a newbie here, so go easy on me!

I have decide to go with the superbly tarp. I am really torn on what color to go with. I was looking for a camo option to keep the setup as unnoticeable as possible. The problem is, I don't know how effective the camo pattern that is offered really is. It seems to repeat itself and that almost stands out in the woods in my opinion. Is the camo pattern effective at hiding the setup? Is it too dark when hanging out under it?

Also, I believe that I have to purchase guy lines separately with the Superfly, correct?

Alternatively, I have thought about going with a 10x10 or 10x12 multi-cam tarp that Bushcraft Outfitters sells.

I have the SF in camo. I love it. It does not come with suspension or guy lines.

The level of stealthiness depends greatly on the surroundings. If it's summer and everything's green, it will be visible. It is very dark and in the brown/brown shadow range. It provides enough break up to be somewhat hidden if you hang off away from the trails. It is best in the fall/winter for cover.

Personally, camo is one of my favorite colors. If you like camo, I'd say go for it. If you find you don't like it, you can always sell it here on the forum.
